Thirteen policemen have been dismissed in Chhattisgarh for disobeying the official order and not joining the Mandanwada police outpost in insurgency-hit Rajnandgaon.
“Thirteen policemen were suspended on the charges of insubordination, indiscipline and cowardice,” Inspector General of Police RK Vij told The Pioneer on Wednesday.
Earlier, this month, these policemen were transferred to Madanwada police outpost on temporary postings. They were put under suspension after they failed to join their duties. Their reluctance to join the duty even after suspension was followed by their dismissal.
Sources say, the reluctance of policemen to join duty was felt to demoralise the spirit of other cops, who are fighting a crucial battle against the Leftwing insurgents in the State.
Earlier, on July 12, 29 policemen including a Superintendent of Police were killed by the Maoists in Madanwada area of Rajnandgaon disrict in four consecutive attacks. The police have opened an outpost in the area said to be badly infested by the Maoists.
